It might be useful to include a UUID in symbols so that once a particular symbol is in use, the identity of that symbol can be guaranteed through a UUID reference. Of course, there would be backward-compatibility for symbols without a UUID attribute, but if a schematic made use of a symbol with a UUID, then the schematic is future-proofed against any future name collisions for that symbol.
